Just before the Paris 2024 Paris Olympics, Bu revealed that Blummenfelt was ’90 percent likely’ to move to the pro peloton from next year, with the Tour de France the ultimate aim. But then more recently that plan was scrapped, with Bu telling TRI247 that money had thrown a spanner in those works.

Now though we have the announcement today (Wednesday) that Bu himself WILL be heavily involved in pro cycling from 2025 after being confirmed as head coach for Norwegian team Uno-X Mobility – effective November 1.

So they realized Kristian was going to make more in triathlon than cycling? While cycling has a higher ceiling, they would be delusional to think Kristian could have gotten to Pogacar and other top GC riders level financially.

The entire storyline is just so weird and doesn’t make any sense. Bu doesn’t even seem to be in Kona with Gustav and Kristian (as least he hasn’t been in Lionel’s videos). Curious if those relationships will continue.

I think he was in the first video when they went to lunch after getting picked up at the airport.
